About ReforgeLite

Overview

ReforgeLite is a lightweight reforging calculator that helps you figure out the optimal strategy to reforge your gear given your stat weights and caps without leaving the game.

How to use it

To open the addon window, type /reforge or talk to the reforging master. On the left half of the window you can see your current item stats for reference.
On the right side you can set up stat weights/caps, or select an existing preset.
You can select up to two capped stats (e.g. hit rating and expertise rating). For each stat, you can select an arbitrary number of threshold values which change the weight of the stat once it passes this value. You can either set the threshold value manually, or use a preset (e.g. melee hit cap). You can also force the stat value to be above or below the treshold.

Alternatively, you can uncheck the "Specify weights" box and set up stat priorities via a more intuitive interface. Again, you can only have two capped stats - e.g. if you specify limits for hit and expertise, setting limits for haste will have no effect.

When you're done setting up weights/caps, press Calculate. Since it might take too much time (and run out of memory due to Lua limitations), it might trade some precision for speed, but the loss should be minimal. You can click the Calculate button several times to achieve the best result.

Once the calculation finishes, you will see a section with your stats after reforging, and the difference from your current stats. Click on the Show button to see which items should be reforged. Items that you have already reforged in the suggested way will have checks next to them; you can check some items manually if you do not wish to reforge them.
If the reforging UI is open, you can click on the Reforge button to automatically reforge all items in the selected way. Do not interfere in the process (clicking the cancel button or closing the reforging UI is fine). Caution: some users have reported it getting stuck reforging the same item over and over, so it is best to watch the process to avoid losing gold.

Known issues

  • I'm getting wrong results: If you think the results you got are incorrect, first make sure the weights are set up correctly. E.g. if you set mastery higher than crit, don't be surprised that your items are reforged to mastery. If you still think something is wrong, click the Debug button at the bottom of settings, and e-mail the dump to me at d07.riv@gmail.com so I can find the problem.

    Presets

    I was surprised how well this worked, I have 4 lvl 85 raidish geared tanks (iLevel 386 to 370) and reforging a new piece of gear can be a pain. The presets (not shown very well in the pictures) make reforging a snap!

    I also have a 85 hunter and I havn't bothered to reforge her, burn phase dps was 9k (survival spec) the same rotation after reforge was 16k (I have a crapy bow so...) I look forward to using this when my warlock dings!

     

    Keep up the great work,

    V

    Could you update please, having some issues with this working properly atm

     

  • #348

    This addon is *amazing*. I was using Reforgenator before, and somehow it wasn't taking my caps into account and I wasted hundreds of gold. This one though does just what it says and then even reforged everything for me automatically. On top of that, it hit my *exact* hit cap, which I have never been able to do manually before. Gotta love math. Thank you so much for this addon!

  • #347

    "Updated 31 December 2011"

     

    still working?

  • #345

    Could you explain how to save edited stat weights?  I used SimC to give me my optimal stat weights as a fire mage, then click "Save" and it says to enter in the name of the preset.  I've tried typing "Fire Mage", "Mage - Fire", and a few other variations, but none of them actually save.

  • #361

    They should appear in Custom section in the dropdown. At least it worked that way for me..

  • #344

    can you explain how calculation works and why you get different results every time

    btw it would be great if it also could consider gemming

    The algorithm it uses is quite heavyweight so it can't run on the lua engine in its full form (it only gets a limited amount of memory). For that reason, it's rounding some values (to multiples of, say, 4, depending on your speed setting), losing some precision as a result. Rounding is randomized, so if you run it several times you should get the best possible result.

    What do you mean by considering gemming? For pretty much all classes, gemming is pretty straightforward - use primary stat gems in red sockets (blue for tanks) and primary+best secondary in colored sockets. While it could have a very minor impact on the reforging (say, you might switch an int/haste gem for int/mastery and it could allow you to get closer to your haste plateau for spriest), I don't think it's important enough to justify a major overhaul.

    CTC Calc off

    It looks to me as your CTC calc is off when using Str buffs.  For example, when adding horn of winter, it is only doing diminishing returns on the 549str *.27/176.7189, instead of adding up all the parry result from that  to the players overall parry and finding diminishing returns of the parry.  This results in about a .73% bonus for Horn of Winter instead of the .53% that is supposed to be.  I've verified this with chardev, unyielding valor calc tool, and rightoues defense CTC spread sheet.

  • #362

    By looking at the code I'm pretty sure it adds the bonus parry rating from str with your total parry before applying DR.. I'll check this later, but I think I've always been getting accurate results in-game.

  • #342

    English is not my main language but I'll do my best :)

     

    I have read that people miss 3.**% dodge compare parry , and you response that cuz of the trinket undying!

    I don't have that trinket , I'm a paladin tank 396 and I got 14,43 dodge and 18.60 parry..

     

    Should I worry or it's normal? I did dungeon and look when windwalk pop or things like that and I reach like 16.75 dodge and parry don't move and keep 18.60? Can you explain me please :)

     

  • #341

    I've tracked down a CompactRaidFrame taint issue to ReforgeLite (disabled all addons and re-enabled one by one until I had the issue). I know CRF is easy to taint, but I can't imagine any reason why this addon would be doing it.

    If there's anything I can provide you to help you find the issue, I'd be glad to help. Absolutely love the addon.

  • #340

    This is a really nice addon, worked like a charm for my class, however i have a question that puzzles me from sometime now:

    Is this addon legal ( automation part ) ? I mean the part that it starts reforging your gear with only one button ? ( usually reforging requires you to do more then pressing one button )

  • #335

    Trying to get it working for my PVP mage but no luck so far. As far as I know the stats pri for frost mages PVP are: 4% hit > 200-240 Spen > Intellect >>> Crit to 17-20% > Mastery >> Crit > Haste

    I have tried to set bouth hit/mastery and hit/crit as stats but it priors haste over mastery and crit. (and thats make sence since its the PVE stat pri)

    If it only was possible to set 3 stats and not only 2 I guess it would be possible without an PVP preset.

    You need to set the weights, not caps.

    Set hit cap to Spell hit (with target level = 0 in settings), which should give you the 4%. Set crit cap to whatever you need. Set weights to something like this: hit = 200, crit = 180, mastery = 160, haste = 100. Set crit "after cap" value to 120. This way it will try to get crit to the specified value and put everything else into mastery.
